By way of explanation. The term 'home business' consists of two words. 'Business' is the second one; it's there to qualify and support the word 'home' and all that goes with it - and not vice versa. Consequently, we also list below, items which are of interest and value to the home. Whether in its context as an office or as a part of your family and lifestyle but always directed at the improved prospects and enjoyment that running a business from home, in its entirety, can bring.

For a current, multi-part overview of starting and running a business from home, go here: http://www.homebusiness.org.uk/features.htm

If other business groups had done the same and tried to persuade their members not to vote for the present regime of thieves, thugs, terrorists and war criminals, the country would be on an altogether healthier footing by now.

Perhaps Mr Tygart, as chief of USADA (US Authorised Dopers' Agency) should assume his own responsibilities first and turn his attentions to near-universal and systematic doping by American athletes instead? Rather than commenting on the world scene while he and his American colleagues organise, facilitate and ignore sporting events flying the flags of terrorists, war criminals, murderers and thieves . . . ?

19.09.2017: UK inflation highest in five years. http://www.wholesalenews.co.uk/news/uk-inflation-up-consumer-confidence-down.html UK inflation reached its highest level in more than five years in August 2017, according to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Inflation hit 2.9% in August 2017, up from 2.6% in July 2017 and higher than the 2.8% predicted by economists. According to the ONS, the larger-than-expected rise in inflation is due to the weakening of sterling since the EU referendum, which is leading to higher import costs for retailers. Higher consumer prices, particularly for fuel, clothing and footwear, also contributed to the rise in inflation. Inflation now stands significantly higher than the Bank of England’s 2% target and is expected to reach 3% in October. (EnterpriseQuest)

15.09.2017: Dyson says leaving the EU without a trading deal would harm the Continent more than Britain. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/james-dyson-brexit-radio-4_uk_59ba386ae4b0edff97195cb7?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl1%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D1665820589_uk Mr Dyson will be moving his manufacturing back to the UK then?

Although on the face of it, Dyson does have a point. If you look at supermarket shelves in the UK for example, they are absolutely packed with European (especially French) products. Look at supermarket shelves elsewhere in Europe (especially in France) and you'll be lucky to spot a single product which has been imported from Britain. Consequently, squeezing anything which comes from the Continent could pay dividends. However, there are two reasons why this won't happen. Firstly, the average British consumer is a mongrel with absolutely no sense of patriotism or loyalty to its own manufacturers and producers. But more significantly and once again, as we have been saying for decades, Britain's politicians are even worse, mere knob polishers to Big Corp - especially American Big Corp. And what they would do if imports from the Continent were to receed, would be to replace them with even more expensive imports from the USA. Which is probably The Big Plan, anyway.

04.09.2017: Brexit: UK to be 'educated' about consequences, says Barnier. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-41140564 The French are always very keen on educating people. Not very successful at heeding their own lessons, mind you, so he's probably hoping the Brits will be better pupils than his own countrymen.

Of course, Barnier's lessons will only be delivered if the British fake news, pro-Brexit propaganda machine decides to reproduce them - which is highly unlikely as this could lead to much embarrassment and be tantamount to an admission that the UK's hate-preaching media has been publishing nothing but lies. (Which is true but that's not the point.) Consequently, I am sure M. Barnier's bureaucratic opinions will be best aired only in French state propaganda instead, which does after all, help justify his existence and help pay his salary.

Nearly half of professional athletes surveyed break rules to enhance performance. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2017/08/30/nearly-half-professional-athletes-surveyed-break-rules-enhance/ Now here's a long-running story which hasn't broken wind with the same degree of drama as the west's fake news propaganda lavished on Russian doping infringements in recent months. Not that this is 'headline' news, either and the content has been toned down as well without any fingers being pointed at the systematic doping by the Americans, the Jamaicans, the Nigerians, etc, etc. Can't be stressing out the 'evil' BBC, the IAAF, WADA, the IoC, the sponsors and all the rest of the sporting world's cheating, 'anti-doping' hypocrites, can we now? (And especially now that Big Pharma are supplying 'leisure' performance-enhancing drugs on an industrial scale which is where the real problem of doping abuse exists.)
